Cane Creek is about to introduce a headset with an integrated steering damper devise intended to mitigate shimmy. They're calling it "Viscoset". So far it's only available for 1.125" steerers, because it's aimed at the E-bike and down-hill markets. Low trail randonneuring bikes seem to be predisposed to low speed, no hands, shimmy; but most of those bikes have 1" steerers. I got my hands of a few pre-release Visocets and I made my own cups to adapt them to bikes with 1" steerers. I've got one on my bike, which did have the no hands shimmy, and the shimmy is totally gone. Fingers crossed that Cane Creek makes a 1" version.
My dad owns a small auto body shop located in Burbank. Two men that are the marketing crew from Jim Henson Studios asked my dad to paint Deadmau5's head, of course he said okay! A few days after my dad finished it they brought it back since they dropped it lol, I might post more photos not sure. Deadmau5 is going to use this for his shows and supposedly it is made from a lighter material since the previous ones weighted a lot heavier.
The woman in the photo is my lovely mother who is dear to me and obviously the man is my father. The business is called J.R.'s Do-It-Right Auto Body & Paint. Visit the Yelp page here.

Audio sample log with notes:
"A Little Respect" - Erasure, AAC format, 128 kbps - "I need to upgrade this to 256 kbps stat!"
"Jeremy" - Pearl Jam, mp3 format, 192 kbps - "I should pull out some CDs, and make this a fair comparison"
"Sanctify Yourselves" - Simple Minds, mp3 format, 224 kbps - "Hmmm..."
"Shout" - Tears For Fears, mp3 format, 160 kbps - "TOO LOUD!!! ~_~;"
"Hyperactive" - Thomas Dolby, mp3 format, 192 kbps - "Tell me about your mother... ("Let me tell you about my mother..." ^_^;)
"Anarchy In The U.K." - Sex Pistols, mp3 format, 192 kbps - "Sounds awfully damn flat for 192 kbps, I hope that's just the song or the encoding"
"Cliches Of The World (B Movie)" - The Kinks, AAC format, 256 kbps - "About as good, or better than the cassette I had it on when I was a kid."
"Panic" - The Smiths, mp3 format, 128 kbps - "Oh, well... I still like The Smiths - I'll queue this for a 256 kbps rerip, and FLAC it as well."
"Pop Muzik" - M, mp3 format, 160 kbps - "Grew up with it for 30 years, damn near wore down a 45 of it. Now, if I could only find the B-side version of 'M Factor' - It's a different mix from the album version."
"Don't Disturb This Groove" - The System, mp3 format, 160 kbps - "Never get tired of this song."
"Your Woman" - White Town, AAC format, 256 kbps - "I like this song, and remember when it would get played regularly on KOME-FM in San Jose around 1997. I am not ashamed to say that I have performed this song at karaoke. I would probably perform it in public at karaoke. Yes, it was A GUY who sang this song, in fact, the GUY who IS 'White Town' ^_^;"
"Fantastic Voyage" - Lakeside, mp3 format, 223 kbps approx. (VBR encode) - "Aw, yeah... Only con so far about these headphones is the cord is TOO SHORT! I can't stand up while plugged into the computer."
"Labour of Love" - The Kinks, AAC format, 256 kbps - "Another good one, no major ickiness so far with these headphones. I guess I got what I paid for... Continuing onward."
"Bad Boys" - Wham!, mp3 format, 128 kbps - "Sounds about as good as it does coming out the harman/kardon desktop speakers and subwoofer. This song is one of my guilty pleasures, and another karaoke favorite."
"Promises, Promises" - Naked Eyes, mp3 format, 160 kbps - "More of my teenage high school years coming back..."
"Notorious" - Duran Duran, mp3 format, 160 kbps - "No, No, Notorious! Not quite as good as their early stuff, but I can still listen to it - I actually like 'The Skin Trade' almost as much, or more than this."
"To Live And Die In L.A." - Wang Chung, 153 kbps approx. (VBR) - "Another classic... Man, I feel old tonight."
"Demoliton Man" - The Police, mp3 format, 192 kbps - "The song that came before the film."
"The Chauffeur" - Duran Duran, mp3 format, 128 kbps - "Not bad, but I have the CD, I could rerip this - I seem to recall being on a campaign to have nothing LESS THAN 192 kbps in my digital collection. Wait, I heard flaws and hissing - This is getting a re-rip, with the rest of the RIO album."
"Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go" - Wham!, mp3 format, 160 kbps - "And the guilty pleasures continue..."
"The Hanging Garden" - The Cure, mp3 format, 192 kbps - "Ah, yeah..."
"The Spice Must Flow" - Eon, mp3 format, 160 kbps - "If I wasn't tethered to the computer, I'd get up and dance...."
"Another Nail For My Heart" - Squeeze, mp3 format, 128 kbps - "Ugly hiss... I can hear it. Need to find the disc and re-rip this one too... What was I thinking?"
"Blood Money" - Sisters of Mercy, AAC format, 256 kbps - "Nice... (Last song of the experiment, before I unplug and go to external speakers for sleep...)"
Experiment halting after this song.
Verdict: I got what I paid for, I'm happy. I will take great care not to get them broken.

Regrettably the headset is in quite a bad condition. Took it apart and the cups are pretty worn out.
Also, the spacer groove in the threading has been filed with a joyfully carelessness: there groove is way too shallow and beside the main groove there is a start of a failed attempt. Thus getting the spacer out took some time and fitting it back in is even harder.
The fork crown however is cool!

The folks at Genuine Bicycle Products offer this conversion headset. It's a basic 1-1/8" threadless headset with the cups turned down to fit an old-school Chicago Schwinn, so you can run a contemporary fork on your vintage whip
